Brownwood, Zephyr ISD Students

Spring is a time that both teachers and students are ready to go outside to soak up some sun – and be educated at the same time! In March Timberlake Biological Field Station hosted students from two local ISDs. Katherine Means from Brownwood ISD coordinated visits from two groups of 5 th graders (about 90 kids plus teachers and aides) to learn about the importance of water and diversity in the environment. Dixie Mayer followed a week later with 11 4 th graders from Zephyr ISD and showcased predator/prey relationships with a program entitled “Quail CSI.” Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped to make both of these events a success and to the teachers who see the value of an outdoor education!
